What Is a Normal Animal Body Temperature
Temperature is a basic, important sign in diagnosis. As one of three vital signs, its range reflects the animal's state. Here is the basics.
Gestation Periods of Common Animals
Passing on one's genes is an instinct of living things. Animals usually come into heat and conceive in seasons with abundant food, and give birth when food is plentiful, but some breed year-round.
What Does a Doe in Heat Look Like?
A doe's heat is mostly induced by stimulus. Breed, age, health, climate, and environment all shape it — summer heat cuts appetite and heat rate, winter cold and scarce greens do too. In heat she turns excited and active: stomps, paws the floor, eats less or refuses food, mounts other does, and seeks the buck; her vulva goes pale at rest, pink early, deep red at peak with swelling, then purple-red. The cycle is 8–15 days, each heat 3–5 days; place her with the buck at the start. Neuter if not breeding.
Why Does Nutritional Imbalance Lower a Doe’s Breeding Rate?
A doe's low breeding rate comes from three imbalances: too little feed (thin doe, weak endocrine, thin uterine lining, low conception, embryo loss), too much feed (fat doe, fatty oviduct, blocked egg and sperm meeting), and unbalanced feed — especially low protein under 15% and shortages of vitamins A, D, E, and B1, which impair reproduction and can cause abortion or stillbirth.
Can Hamsters Get Hairballs?
Hamsters can develop hairballs (trichobezoars) when weak digestion or excess grooming lets ingested fur accumulate, showing as reduced appetite and shrinking stools. Mild cases need fiber and water; severe cases need a small-pet hairball paste — never cat/dog formulas.
Hamster Coat Problems
Coat issues include color change (winter whitening in Campbell's/Dwarf types, fading silver rings), hair loss (seasonal, aging, or mites/fleas), and hairball risk in long-haired Syrians from grooming. Most need no grooming, but find the cause if problems appear.
What Breeds of Pet Hamsters Are There?
Hamsters are gradually becoming a common pet in homes, but many people do not know what breeds of pet hamsters there are. Today we introduce several breeds of pet hamsters.
Why Do Kits Die More in Winter?
Winter breeding matters to rabbit farmers; with fewer pathogens, survival should be high — but poor conditions (bad temperature) kill frail kits. Here are the causes and prevention.
How to Care for Kits in Winter
Winter's cold is very harmful to kits; owners must step up care. Here is what to do so rabbits get through winter safely.
How to Improve Survival Rate of Weaning Kits
Kit survival is low and poor care easily kills them. Here are methods to raise the survival rate of weaning kits.
